    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning

    I’ve been unemployed for the past two months after being laid off from my job, and honestly, I’m starting to lose hope in the job market. I have about two years of experience, but despite applying for positions for the last six months, I haven’t had any luck. I’m currently living at my parents' house and my savings are dwindling, sitting at around 12 lakhs. I’m really worried about what will happen once those savings run out. It feels like I’m just stuck in limbo.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning

    I've been struggling with my job search for the past week and decided to take a different approach. I started tailoring my resume to match the job descriptions exactly, even if it means exaggerating my experience. For instance, if a job posting specifies a backend developer role with certain technologies, I modify my resume to reflect that I'm a perfect match. I use ChatGPT to help format my resume and align my experience with the job requirements. My goal was to at least get some interviews, even if I had to 'fake it' a bit. Unfortunately, despite this effort, I've still faced nothing but rejections. It's frustrating, and I can't figure out why I'm not getting any traction. The only parts of my resume that are completely truthful are the names of the companies I've worked for and my college, as I believe lying about those would be a mistake.
